António Veloso is a Full Professor of Biomechanics at the Faculty of Human Kinetics (FMH), University of Lisbon (UL) (https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1068-1113). He holds a PhD and Habilitation in Biomechanics of Human Movement. Throughout his career, he has held several prominent academic and administrative leadership positions at FMH and UL, including:Vice-Dean, FMH-UTL (2005–2010) President, Department of Sports and Health, FMH-UL (2012–2017) Elected Member, General Council, University of Lisbon (2017–2021) President, Scientific Council, FMH-UL (2022–present) Member, Scientific Commission of the Senate, University of Lisbon (2022-present) In addition to these roles, he is the Director of the PhD Program in Kinesiology at FMH-UL and serves as the Director of the Biomechanics and Functional Morphology Laboratory (LBMF), where he also leads the Neuromechanics of Human Movement Research Group at the Research Center for Human Performance (CIPER). Currently, he supervises a research team comprising 16 PhD faculty members, 4 postdoctoral researchers, and 20 PhD students. Professor Veloso is a Senior Editorial Board Member for BMC Biomedical Engineering and has served as a Guest Editor for PLOS Computational Biology. His research has resulted in over 200 peer-reviewed publications, accumulating more than 2,500 citations. He has also been actively involved in international research evaluation committees, including: ¿ Expert Evaluator, European Commission, Europe Funding and Tenders Portal (EX2014D218430) ¿ International Experts Panel Member, Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) Since 2004, under Professor Veloso’s leadership, the LBMF-NHM has participated in over 16 research projects funded by the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT) and the European Commission, securing a total of €6.2 million in direct funding. These projects have contributed to initiatives with an overall budget exceeding €10.6 million. The laboratory has been instrumental in developing experimental methodologies, computational modeling, and simulation approaches to analyze mechanical loads on the musculoskeletal system in both human and animal models. His research is structured around two primary lines of research : 1. In Vivo and In Silico Methodologies for Neuromusculoskeletal System Analysis This research focuses on developing and integrating innovative methodologies and laboratory technologies to study the biomechanical and morphological factors essential for quantitative human movement analysis across diverse fields, including clinical applications, sports performance, health promotion, and ergonomics. A key aspect of this work involves computational modeling in biomechanics, enabling the creation of musculoskeletal models that establish causal relationships between movement patterns and morphological parameters. These models facilitate the estimation of internal loads on muscle-tendon complexes, skeletal structures, and joints and allow the development of computational simulations to assess system sensitivity to various biomechanical and environmental conditions. 2. Biomechanical Factors in Sports Performance, Injury Prevention, and Rehabilitation The methodologies and models developed in the first research line are applied to analyzing biomechanical determinants of sports performance and understanding injury mechanisms. Specifically, computational models provide insights into internal loads experienced by injured tissues, enabling the identification of key internal and external variables influencing these loads. This research supports evidence-based approaches to injury prevention and return-to-play strategies for athletes. Professor Veloso’s expertise in biomechanics, motion analysis, and computational modeling continues to contribute significantly to the advancement of research and innovation in human movement science and sports performance.
